DoubleX saidEnvato charging us with Author’s fee (which will be invoiced at the end of every month) is receiving service from Australia and it forces me to register for VAT.
Just more and more headache thanks to this platform nonsense…

No, registration is not required, but you need to pay VAT for these services.

Apologies if this has been asked or brought up already, but these invoices appear to be un-usable unless they are in an authors currency right? All the invoices in the images say USD, can I assume it will always be in USD?

The problem with that is if my invoices are in USD the actual money I received monthly in AUD is just never going to balance.

On top of that, even if the invoices are in AUD, the currency price changes daily, so the money I receive on the 15th, won’t add up to the total invoiced amount for the month prior.

Maybe I’m missing something simple, but I feel like I’m going crazy. Does no body else see this? I use fresh books for my account keeping and they don’t allow for cross currency keeping mainly because its a nightmare.

Im going to continue invoicing Envato once a month after I receive the money in my account. Thats the ONLY way to maintain a balanced book keeping system if you’re not living the US.

You can invoice in other currency, but on invoice needs to be exchange rate (rate of your central bank, reserve bank or other monetary authority).
